You have been born anew,
not of perishable but of imperishable seed,
through the living and enduring word of God.
—1 Peter 1.23
Beloved,
I am your infant in your arms
My flesh your holy vessel
For this eternal flowing
Carry me where you will
On the mountain of your back
I am your body made into singing
Each breath a new beginning
Sing me into this world
This living, beloved world
Breath prayer: + Your Word … born new +
